How do the Xeno AI interact with each other?
Why dont they have infighting?
Are they Semi Organic?
Do they eat humans?
Do they worship Shalun?
Do they hate Steel Song?(They Do)
Are they the same species but with different factions?
How do they react with Narvidians
Am I overthinking?
Post Lore and behaviors of them here!

If you dig around here, you can probably find answers to at least some of those questions. My lore isn't good enough to answer most of them.
I do know that the Xeno are mostly/all insect species. If you want to see what they look like, get Templar Battleforce, which is arguable the Trese Brothers most polished game. a lot of fun.
As I recall there's a lore book coming out with STRPG2, that will be another good place for answers.
With luck, some of the more knowledgeable forum member will come along and give some more lore.
And... Welcome to the forums!

I'll try and answer these from what I know from reading Cory Trese 's posts and such. I might be misremembering some of these facts. "How do the Xeno AI interact with each other?
Why dont they have infighting?"The Xeno will not attack each other, but they will compete for resources. They never intentionally cooperate, and Xeno AIs don't share information about player activity with each other. "Are they Semi Organic?
Do they eat humans?"These are both probably true. "Do they worship Shalun?"Nope. They probably don't have even have the mental capacity for it. "Do they hate Steel Song(They Do)"They seem to hate humans in general, but they especially hate Steel Song because they are the best faction  "Are they the same species but with different factions?"Sort of. hundreds of thousands of years ago, the different Xeno worked together, and the different Xeno types fulfilled different roles. "How do they react with Narvidians"I can't say for sure, but I would guess the answer is "violently". "Am I overthinking"... |

Xeno do not fight among themselves, but they do compete for resources.
Xeno are fully organic.
The Xeno are themselves made up of multiple integrated species of distinct creatures.
For example, the mobile xeno vs. the "creep fungus" that digests and destroys Xeno infested areas.
Narvidians are adept at manipulating Xeno biology.
Humans have also proven to be capable of basic control of the Xeno as well.

Cory Trese, are you saying that each type of Xeno is made up of multiple integrated species? Or, something else? I seem to recall that the Narvidians had used the Xeno as soldiers in the past, but sort of lost control of them. If that's the case, then perhaps the reason don't fight each other is because the Xeno programmed them that way back when. What do the Narvidians look like?

Just scroll down in the "rules" file for an image if you don't want to do a mission against them. |

As others have said, the Xeno are varied and do not directly cooperate, acting more like various hives of similar insect species would. The "warrior drones" that the Templars fight are implied to be semi-organic with a metallic outer shell. The fungus that Cory Trese mentioned has been explained as a growth that supports the Xeno growth and lifecycle, and potentially spawns the weaker drones, like Skitterings. Some are said to use humans as food, such as the Zenga. They likely attack the Narvidians on sight, as they are their ancient enemy. However it seems that Narvs have modified them over time, using them as pawns and creating terrifying new xenoforms, such as the Goliath and Litch. |

As someone above me has said,Multiple species that Cooperated with each other a long time ago that seperated,use identical ships,hates Nardivian,has some sort of entity controlling their expansion,extremely advanced bio technology,pheharps this ancient galaxy was once traveled to by the Xenos escaping their version of the War,maybe its a vicious cycle of war and factions.

Not exactly. The Xeno were created by the Alfaan as their weapons of war. The various species of Xeno are designed with specialization in mind. Terrox, with their fast reproduction and tenacious hold on captured ground, can be seen as the colonizers and defenders of Hives. Jenga Xeno are more specialized defenders, specifically stated to be heavily armored xenoforms. Bollish are the main naval force, quickly producing swarms of attack ships. All Xeno can perform some of the functions of the others, but they are specialized to perform specific functions. The Xeno are not natural. They are feral bioweapons, and should be destroyed and their worlds cleansed whenever they are found. |
